Shen Mingtang is forced by her stepmother and ex-fiancé to go to the civil affairs office and marry Lu Yanchi, the most untouchable man in the capital’s elite circles.
Everyone is waiting to see the Lu family crush her.
But on the day they sign the marriage contract, she adds a line to the supplementary terms.
A three-year marriage, with no expectation of love.
But voting rights for the Tangxing project acquired during the marriage in her capacity as a spouse will be exercised independently by Shen Mingtang.
After reading it, Lu Yanchi smiles. “Miss Shen, do you know who you’re negotiating with?”
Shen Mingtang looks up. “I do. A man in the capital’s elite circles who needs a wife more than anyone.”
Later, at a Shen family banquet, she throws the books exposing their corruption onto the table. Her ex-fiancé loses his composure in front of everyone, and her stepsister cries until her makeup runs.
At the shareholders’ meeting, she turns the tables and takes control. Everyone finally understands that she isn’t a canary looking to marry into wealth. She’s come back to collect what she’s owed.
And the man who once forced her into this game blocks her way at the door, eyes red and voice hoarse.
“Shen Mingtang, we can void the contract.”
“Don’t void me.”
